A purchase

This utterly splendid book arrived yesterday in the Duchy.It is filled with superb pictures and fascinating info .I am indebted to the splendid fellow who recomended it.

In many ways it will more than meet the needs of myself as I continue to raise Army White. Coupled with the John Biggins novel I am currently enjoying there is a distinct theme going on here...

On the border...not the Al Stewart song

Army Red/White scouts have reported that troops have crossed the frontier into the garden.Yesterday cavalry were seen in the long(ish) grass on the smallest lawn.Now here is photographic evidence that Army White is in the area...

As yet numbers are unknown but Army Red/White has begun to mobilize troops in the area.

Army White

I have just received the start of  my Army White ( aka The Imperium  in my other 18th century blog) from Paul.Here they are deployed outside  today after being  without internet/email access for a week. The figures arrived safely and look great!
